Page 17: Installation
3 Installation Step1: Hang the motor on the transom on the motor holder and tighten the two clamp handles. Figure 3-1 Figure 3-2 Ensure to mount the outboard on the centerline of your boat. If the boat shape is asymmetric, please consult your dealer to get proper solution. Center line Figure 3-3 The mounting height of the outboard affects the running speed seriously. - Page 18 it will lead to efficiency and running speed reducing. Mount the outboard and ensure the top of propeller is ≥150mm below the bottom of the boat. Usually, if 400mm≥transom height≥300mm, it’s recommended to select a short shaft SPIRIT, while if 500mm≥transom height≥400mm, it’s recommended to select a long shaft SPIRIT.
- Page 19 Slot Block Figure 3-5 Step3: Plug the power cable in the power port and tighten the connector. Figure 3-6 Figure 3-7 Make sure the power cable connector and socket are dr y before connecting to avoid short-circuit. Please spray and clean the connectors about every 3 months with contact spray.

Page 33: Trim Angle Adjusting
7 Trim Angle Adjusting SPIRIT 1.0 has four trim angle options including 21°, 14°, 7° and 0°. The trim angle should be adjusted according to the boat type and the running speed to achieve higher efficiency. It is recommended to try different trim angles at your desired running speed to achieve the best performance. - Page 34 Step3: Select a desired trim angle and inser t the trim pin into the corresponding position, attach the pull ring to fix the trim pin. Step3: Put the trim pin into the desired position. Figure 7-3 Step4: Pull the trim release lever again to lay down the outboard motor, and the outboard motor will stay at the desired trim angle.

Page 35: Propeller Assembly
8 Propeller Assembly The outboard performance is seriously affected by the type of propeller. Users can select a proper propeller according to different application conditions. For a larger load boat and a low running speed, a lower-pitch propeller is more suitable. -
Page 36: Anti-Grounding Mode
9 Anti-grounding Mode When the boat runs in shallow water or in complicated underwater conditions, it may meet grounding dangers. Setting the outboard to anti-grounding mode will protect the outboard motor from damage if the outboard hits submerged reefs or rocks. In anti-grounding mode, the underwater part of the outboard is flexible in tilting direction and the motor will automatically tilt up if it hits something underwater. - Page 37 Step2: Release the beaching pin and the trim release lever will stay at the position shown in the figure below. And then the anti-grounding mode is activated. Figure 9-3 To inactivate the anti-grounding mode Pull the beaching pin again and make the trim release lever return to horizontal position, the anti-grounding protection will be disabled and the outboard will work in normal state.
